I opened the Sunday newspaper this morning to find that two very dear friends, as well as very talented theater people passed away. The first, my friend Elly, I saw just three weeks ago at Milt's memorial service. I had been told before I saw her that she had cancer, so I was surprised at how great she looked and acted. She was one of the Tacoma Little Theatre legends back in the 60s. I remember her best for her performance as Reno Sweeney in ANYTHING GOES back in 1964. I had the chance to work with Elly and her husband, only once; and that was in THE BAKER'S WIFE.
